A fake review is left in your name.

“ The intention is to give the impression that the recipient is a verified buyer who has written positive online reviews of the merchandise, meaning: they write a fake review in your name. These fake reviews help to fraudulently boost or inflate the products’ ratings and sales numbers, which they hope results in an increase of actual sales in the long-run. Since the merchandise is usually cheap and low-cost to ship, the scammers perceive this as a profitable pay-off.”

I have had no contact with suppliers for any packages that shipped to me without an order. Maybe the packages I have been shipped were just hoping for a review. Out of the last 3 items shipped, there have been no new positive reviews since receiving those items 3 months ago. I am guessing the company is not writing the bad reviews.
But I am sorry for posting my experience in Free packages from Amazon so those can tell you you either can’t read, or are to stupid to have a thought.
